Initial Set Up Procedures - Raymarine a series Installation Instructions Manual

6.14 Initial set up procedures

Once your display has been installed and
commissioned, Raymarine recommends that you
complete the Startup wizard and perform some
additional procedures.
Startup wizard
When you power-up the display for the first time or
after a system reset a Startup Wizard is displayed.
The wizard guides you through the following basic
configuration settings:
1. Language
2. Boat type
3. Configure Units (Units of measure)
4. Boat Details
Note: These settings can also be set at any time
using the menus accessible from Homescreen
> Customize.
Additional settings
In addition to the settings covered by the Wizard,
it is also recommended that the following initial set
up tasks are completed:
• Set your date and time preferences.
• Designate the data master.
• Select the GPS data source.
• Familiarize yourself with the product using
Simulator Mode.
Warning: Minimum Safe Depth,
Beam and Height
Depending on cartography vendor, the
minimum safe settings are used during
automatic route generation, they are used
to restrict created routes from entering
water that is not suitable for the vessel.
Data is taken from compatible cartography.
Minimum safe settings are user defined
calculations. As both of these factors
are outside of Raymarine's control;
Raymarine will not be held liable for
any damage, physical or otherwise,
resulting from the use of the automatic
route generation feature or the Minimum
Safe Depth, Minimum Safe Beam or
Minimum Safe Height settings.
Minimum safe vessel depth
As part of the Initial startup wizard the Minimum
Safe Depth value can be set.
Minimum Safe Depth can be established by adding
together:
• Maximum Vessel Draft (i.e. the distance from the
waterline to the lowest point of a vessel's keel.)
• Safety Margin (an adequate clearance below the
keel to allow for draft variation and changes in
water or bottom conditions.)
82
i.e.: Minimum Safe Depth = Maximum Vessel Draft
+ Safety Margin.

Important: The information below is provided
for guidance only and is not exhaustive. Some
influencing factors can be unique to certain vessels
and / or areas of water and may not be listed
below. You should ensure you account for ALL
factors that apply to your current situation when
making calculations.
Some of the factors that can influence how much a
vessel draws are shown below:
• Vessel displacement (weight) — A vessel's draft
will increase when it is fully laden when compared
with its unladen displacement.
• Water type — A vessel's draft will increase by
approximately 2% to 3% in fresh water compared
to seawater.
Some of the factors that should be taken into account
when calculating a Safety Margin are:
• Vessel maneuvering characteristics — A
vessel's draft increases due to squat, trim, roll,
pitch and heave.
• Chart accuracy — The electronic chart depth
may not be accurate or the true depth may have
changed since the last survey.
• Weather conditions — High air pressure, and
prevailing wind strength and direction can affect
wave height.
Minimum safe beam
As part of the Initial startup wizard the Minimum
Safe Beam value can be set. Minimum safe beam is
required when using Jeppesen
Minimum Safe Beam can be established by adding
together:
• Maximum Vessel Width (Beam)
• Safety Margin (an adequate clearance to either
side of the vessel.)
i.e.: Minimum Safe Beam = Port Safety Margin +
Beam + Starboard Safety Margin.
